Have to say having worked from home for the past 5 years this is very different from how I'd work from home normally. Usually, for example, you can work from a coffee shop or co-working space every so often for a change of pace.

Having to force myself to take breaks was something that took me a while as well. I couldn't figure out why I felt drained after working from home compared to the office. Turns out those little breaks and interactions you'll get from being in an office with other people meant realistically I was working less, so I try to take 5 minutes every so often to clear the mind and do something else.

Dog is loving having both me and my girlfriend home though!

I couldn't quite put my finger on what's different but you are right. I also used to work from home before but at least I had the freedom to leave the house if I wanted to. Thx for your input :).
